Mandelic Acid (AHA)
Derived from bitter almonds, Mandelic Acid is a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) prized for its ability to exfoliate the skin while being less irritating than many other fruit acids. With its larger molecular size, Mandelic Acid penetrates the skin more slowly, making it a popular choice for sensitive, blemish-prone, and mature skin care formulations.
